MISERY LOVES CO.
- Not Like Them
Songs: 11 Time: 52:11
Misery Loves Co.
is a Swedish rock/industrial project with guttural vocals and
screaming guitars juxtaposed against thundering drums and backing synths. This
duo’s new CD, Not Like Them is a combination of sounds caught
somewhere between hard metal and accessible, rock orientated industrial. It’s
All Yours takes pulsing drums and places them behind a wall of guitars
(ranging from moody to aggressive) and raw vocals. Prove Me Wrong is a
ballad type song with some wet sequences half hidden behind the acoustical
guitar and echoing vocals. Another slower song, Complicated Game, has a
strong electronic feel to it with the throbbing synth lines and minimal guitar.
This is also the best track to hear Patrik’s vocal range, as it goes from soft
in the verses to downright hard and angry in the chorus. More along the lines
of death metal, Taste It (Imaginary Gun) is a roughed up piece with
enraged vocals and screaming guitars. The remainder of the tracks range from
slower rock pieces to harsher metal pieces, but nothing really stands out as
amazing. Overall, Not Like Them is more along the lines of alternative metal
with a dash of industrial tossed in for good measure. While it’s not really my
thing, there are some redeeming qualities about their compositions that even an
electro music lover could appreciate.
